Bill McCormick’s Bliss Synopsis
SHORT STORIES:
“The floppy prosthetic cutlets masqueraded as breasts in a pretty pink box. They’d be better between a Hawaiian bun. Toasted and buttered. She chuckled after she left the Care Wear Clinic.”
“…The word had never before sounded so beautiful to Maggie. That pointy consonant snuggled next to the curves of the vowel breathed a flicker of life into her deflated spirit.”
“11:58pm. Jules was glad to be almost rid of 2016. She hated the bitterness that occupied a dank corner of her heart. She swirled the dregs of her Manhattan. Fuck it. Toast with a fresh one. You deserve that.”
